Viridisol® M (MeTHF, 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran) is a green solvent based on furfural derived from waste corn cobs.
Viridisol® M is a very effective extraction solvent that is inversely soluble in water. MeTHF can outperform tetrahydrofuran (THF) and methylene chloride/dichloromethane (DCM) in Grignard and other organometallic reactions.

Primary Chemistry: 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran
MeTHF can outperform tetrahydrofuran (THF) and methylene chloride/dichloromethane (DCM) in Grignard and other organometallic reactions
Limited miscibility with water makes it great for easy product recovery
Allows higher reaction temperature and lower losses from reactor condensers
Effective solvent for biphasic reactions such as alkylation, amidation and nucleophilic substitution reactions.
Poor performance of THF and DCM in organometallic reactions.
Poor recovery of reaction products from reactor condensers.
